    Oh, I know about parliamentary coalition/joint governments or whatever they’re called. I’m also aware that federal politics are generally somewhat less important than local politics as a result of how the government is laid out and the canton system. I was just wondering if they’re considered pariahs, or if they get some decision-making power simply because they got the largest share of votes. From some other comments I’ve seen, it sounds like the latter… which is a bit unfortunate.

      I think in the case of local votes a lot more people unfortunately would value pro-business than anything else. I would expect extremes of both sides to have no votes and a bunch of Biden likes to have power and no change from the average USA election cycle

        While I appreciate your intent, I’m looking for a response from someone who can offer more than simple speculation.

          I get that but frankly no one is going to be able to give you a certainty. The US is different than other multi party systems. If anyone says they know what would happen they are lying

            More pointedly: I was hoping for a reply from someone intimately familiar with Swiss politics instead of speculation from non-Swiss people, and I’m pretty sure we’re both non-Swiss.
